AN INTERVIEW With PENDLETOs
His Views on the General Foreign Out
look-Evsrything Uncertain.


NEW YORK, Feb. Hon. G. II. Pen
dleton, United States Minister to Ger
many, who arrived here yesterday, was
seen by reporter at the house of his son.
! Frank Fl. Pendleton, to-day. Mr.. Pen
dleton said he had come on a short visit.
! He intends to rest two or three days and
will then go to Washington to report
to the Secretary of State. -fter that
he will go to his home in Cincinnati,
where he will remain for brief period
before his departure for his post OF duty.
Mr.. Pendleton was asked as TO his views
Of the possibility of war in Europe and
he general feeling in regard to it at the
German capital. He replied that
he had been on the ocean for
nearly two weeks, and hence was
not Informed IS to recent developments
in matters. The SITUATION" he re-
marked, "when l left Berlin was very
much strained. The powers of Europe.
from general feeling of Insecurity, have
been masking immense preparations.
There are Tremendous military works
and ornaments on every side. Count
Won Moltke says it was O condition of
affairs that must have solution. 1t may
have changed. Then the Reichstag was
dissolved on the question of the military
bill on the Friday before l left Berlin.
No hing new occurred before l sailed"
Mr.. Pendleton said he could not see that
any one in Germany desired war, in
fact every effort was made to avoid
it. The old Emperor was extremely
anxious to have peace during his time.
Prince Bismarck is not ready for war
now. He would not be ready until the
military bill had been passed and the
army reorganized. I'm fact" said the
ambassador, sit seems to me that Prince
Bismarck would accord heartily with any
proposition for peace with honor. The
Emperor will in short time Celebrate
his ninetieth birthday Prince Bismarck
is seventy-two; both wish for peace
The middle classes are not anxious
for war, as the burden will fall
heavily upon them. There are, however,
certain classes in all countries whose
condition would be advanced by war, but
the great mass of the people desire peace.
Their opinions count for nothing. Count
Won Moltke, Prince Bismarck and two or
three others settle such matters. In
France General BOulanger leads. One of
the peculiar things which would strike
Americans in Europe is the small infu-
ence of the rulers'
Mr.. Pendleton then spoke at some
length of the struggle in e r ichstag
over the b II provldin. for an increase OF
62, 600 men for the army for period of
year.; of its advocacy by Prince Bis
marck, and of the refusal of the Rich
stag to grant it for more tnan three
years, and of the imm4 date diss tuition
of thst body practically as the story was
told at the time from day to day in the
Associated Press dispatches. MI. Pen.
dleton concluded with the remark that it
was impossible to tell what the result
might be. Everything depended on the
decision of the Chancellor.

PENDING sTRIRES.
The Coal Handlers Strike Extended to the
Freight Handlers

EXTENDED TO FREIGHT HANDLERS.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The extension oil
the strike to the freight handlers on the
railroad piers OF New York is the most
serious blow to commerce that the union
men have struck Owing TO the effect oil
it, on one road, the Jersey Central, there
Is an almost complete suspension of bust
ness. The men turned out so sud tenly
that the company WAS left at great disad-
vantage, and its inability to deliver freight
caused much inconvenience to merchants
| The men on the Pennsylvania p ers along
North river are ready to come out
the very minute the time for receiving an
answer to their demands from the COM
pany expires. The Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Westerns freight is handled
by the j. ii Starin Transportation Com
pany, and their men are in sympathy
with the freight handlers on the other
roads, and are ready to come out at any
time. The next move on the part of the
strikers will be to induce the trainmen TO
come out, and thus tie up the railroads
centering on the Jersey shore. There is
some talk of getting the deck hands and
firemen on the ferry boats to juin the
rikers, but these men are averse to such
course.

ed. When Sheriff Watson about
two weeks ago issued an order
to the officials Of the county jail not to
admit Miss VanZ4ndt it was thought that
the matter was settled, but it now sp-
pears that neither of the couple aban-
doned their purpose. The law about
marrying by letter and marrying by proxy
was looked up, but nothing was found
except in regard to marriage by
proxy. This was finally decided upon,
and Justice Englehard in the town OF
Jefferson, whose name figured in the pa
pers during the last months of the past
year as denouncing the verdict of the an
archist trial in public speeches, was con-
suited. He gave it as his opinion that a
marriage Oy proxy would be bind
ing by law if the proxy was made out
In DUE LEGAL FORM.
He was commissioned to draw up the
form of proxy and he spent considers BILE
time in making it conform to what he
thought was the law in the case. The
document was not got ready until last
Friday. Early on Saturday Mrs. Van
Zindt and Gretchen Spies, q
sister of August, went out to
Jefferson and called on Justice Engle-
hardt to get the proxy, and having Sc
cured the documen they went direct to
the county Jail with it where they met the
wife of Spies brother Ferdinand, and
Mrs. Wendlans. Miss VarZaudt's
three companions witnessed the signature
OF Spies to the document, by which he
gave full authority to his brother, Henry
w. Spies,
TO REPRESENT HIM
at the ceremony. Mrs. Ferdinand Spies
and Miss Gretchen Spies signed the paper
to witness August Spies signature.

himself, went with Ferdinand SPIES TO

Zsndt's parents and Henry and Chris
Spies, brothers of August. The Journey
to Justice Euglehsrdt's office was
made on foot. 1t was after O'Clock Sat
urday night. By this time the Justice had
again
EXAMINED HIS LAW BOOKS,
and then the ceremony was performed.
henry Spies answered to the name of
August Vincent The odore Spies, and
under this name he was married to Miss
SanZandt. The bride and parents
went from the office of the
justice to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ferdinand Spies not far distant
and remained there over night. The IL

THE WOOL TRADE.


The Manitoba road has made a rate
for wool from Great Falls, which will
render this city the leading wool
market of Montana. The rate is $40
to Boston; So to New York and $1.25
to st. Paul and Minneapolis. These
rates involve no insurance and are
consequently Is to 20 cents less than
the freight by river from Fort Ben
ton where the sums named have to be
paid for steamboat insurance. The
Manitoba rate from Fort Benton is
the same as from Great Falls, but as
we are nearer the wool-produeing re-
gions, the growers will gain by send
ing their product here, whence it
may be sent promptly to the great
markets of the east. As 500 as the
exact location Of the track is determ-
ined large warehouse will be built
here to accommodate dealers in
wool.

Manitoba extension and lbs allied line,
the Mon tana Central are completed.
Large p ortions of the wool, bullion,
copper, hides and other Montana pro-
ducts, shipped here will find their
way to Duluth, because that will be
the be st and cheapest route to the
easter a markets. In return extensive
shipments may be expected from Du-
lutb of the eastern products which
will be sent there for the great job
bing and manufacturing city of (which
the foundation has been laid at Great
Falls. This traffic will be diversified
as the commerce between the two
cities increases. It is probable that
-four will be sent in large quantities
to Duluth for shipment, while foreign
fruits will come here from the West
Indies by way of the Zenith City.
Before long the Manitoba line may
extend its track to the Pacific and es-
tablish a line of steamers to trade be-
tween Duluth and Buffalo. When
both these things come to pass Great
Falls will be the emporium where
products Of the east and west will be
bought for distribution.

TWO GREET WORKS.

The wagon bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at this place which is to
be completed this fall, will not only
be a great local advantage, but it will
be of very great benefit to all who re-
side in this section of northern Mon
tana, as the river is almost impas-
sable by ferry boats at all points in
the early spring and the late fall, and
this will be the only wagon bridge
across the Missouri river in Montana.
The bridge will be built and owned
by the townsite company, and when
completed will be a work of great
pride to the people Of this county, as
it will be a, very solid, substantial
structure. The width of the river to
be spanned is about 1900 feet. There
will be ten massive cut stone piers
and the bridge which will rest upon
them, will be twenty feet in the clear,
Independently of sidewalks. The
construction Of this bridge and the
of the massive dam at the
Black Eagle falls-work upon which
is to be commenced this season
should satisfy the most skeptical that
the Great Falls Water-Power & Town
site Company have come here to stay.

In THE FOURTH DISTRICT Judge Bach

In THE FOURTH DISTRICT Judge Bach
has requested the members of the bar
to keep on their coats and keep their
feet off the tables. No such rebuke
is needed in Great Falls. No one can

E. Brady with his feet on the table.

FAILS AND DULUTH.

It will be one Of the great advan-
tages OF the Manitoba line that it will
provide northern Montana with the
shortest and most direct route to the
head Of lake navigation at Duluth.
When the Manitoba line is completed
to Great Falls in September, there will
be q continuous railroad with an easy
grade from here to Duluth, whence
the new trunk line with which the
Manitoba roadfhas a working agree
ment will extend to the great eastern
markets. including the cities on the
Atlantic seaboard. The route to Du-
luth will be made still shorter when
President Hill builds q line Of his own
from Crookston or thereabouts to Du-
luth and will thus be in a position to
dispense with the use of the Hinckley
section Of the st. Paul & Duluth rail
road. The construction of the Man
itoba line to this city must hasten the
building Of that new route, because
il viii increase the volume OF traffic
between this region and the head of
the lake, thereby providing a larger
amount of business than could have
been expected hitherto.
Large traffic will spring up between
Great Falls and Duluth when the

SILVER BULLION.

Silver bullion certificates after all
are to become part Of the securities
in which the New York stock brokers
will trade. Ex-Treasurer Jordan,
acting Of course, in concert with his
chief, MI. Manning the e~x-secretary
Of the treasury. appears to have over
come the stubborn opposition which
was made by some members of the
governing committee and has had the
bullion certificates placed on the reg
ular call.
II does not follow, however, that
silver will be exposed to the fuctua-
tions Of the stock exchange or that
the prices made there, will be accept
ed by the commercial world. The
London prices will rule in Mexico and
India, while the sum paid by our
government for its monthly supply
will be accorded most weight by bull
lion dealers Of New York. Moreover,
as Ssligman & Co. says: ''Th1s coun-
try has not an ounce of silver in stock
except what is held by the govern
ment." There is, in fact, no visible
supply" of silver and except We hoard
1t needlessly there can never be one
like that OF wheat and corn. It is
perhaps as we'll that such obstacles
should exist against speculative trad
ing in silver which would give it fcti-
